NASA to announce Artemis 2 crew today
At long last, we’re going to learn which astronauts will fly NASA’s first crewed mission to the moon of the Artemis generation.
Today, April 3, NASA and the Canadian Space Agency will announce the four astronauts who will fly on the Artemis 2 mission around the moon in 2024. That crew is expected to include one Canadian astronaut and three NASA astronauts, but exactly who is yet to be revealed.
NASA will announce the crew in an event at Ellington Field near the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT). Space.com staff writer Elizabeth Howell is on scene at the event alongside contributor Robert Pearlman of collectSPACE.com.
You’ll be able to watch it live on Space.com, as well as at the top of this page at start time.
